Catalog of Life

The Catalog of Life is a comprehensive database that aims to list all known species of plants, animals, fungi, and other life forms on Earth. It compiles information from scientists worldwide to provide a unified, accessible resource for understanding Earth's biodiversity. By organizing this data, it helps researchers, conservationists, and educators track species, understand ecological relationships, and monitor changes in populations. Essentially, it’s a global inventory that promotes knowledge and awareness of the planet's diverse life forms, supporting efforts to conserve and study biodiversity.
